Overview

Mission

Strengthening Texas’s Healthcare Safety Net; TEHP seeks to preserve the state and local side of the federal Medicaid partnership while educating on, and advocating for, policies that enhance hospital funding, expand access to quality care, and support a stronger, more efficient healthcare system across Texas.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Texas Essential Healthcare Partnership Foundations makes grants to Hospitals located in Texas to help support the provision of medical care for medically indigent patients. Selected grantees generally are (i) hospitals that either participate in a Local Provider Participation Fund (LPPF) or are members of a Health System in which at least one hospital participates in an LPPF or (ii) rural hospitals that may experience some budgetary shortfall as a result of providing medical care to a medically indigent population in rural areas.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
